Yesterday was sunny but chilly. We decided to take a drive. Went to the next town over and drove around some of their back roads. There is this house we can see from the freeway, passing the town, on the other side of the river. Newer house, a neat design but it never looks like anyone lives there. It's all windows on the river side and anytime we've driven past during day it looks empty and anytime we've driven by at night there are never any lights on in the house. This has been like that a year or more. We drove into the neighborhood, that is pretty new, with new homes being built on 1-3 acres or so. It doesn't appear anyone lives at the house I was wondering about. Looks very empty. It's not for sale either. Weird.
Then we stopped at woodworker guys place on the way home for a visit. I don't know which of them brought it up first, but DH started complaining about the cell tower again. Friend didn't really want to hear about it (again), so then of course that made DH mad, so then I had to listen to DH complain the rest of the day about it and about friends response to not wanting to hear about it. It's never ending, LOL. To DH's defense, he has listened to this guy complain over and over about his ex-wife (who lives next door to him) and DH doesn't say to him "stop complaining about it". He just listens and acts supportive. I keep trying to tell him just because you are "friends" doesn't mean the "friend" is going to act the same way you do or treat a situation the same way.
We went from almost 70 degrees on Friday to snowing today. The big question is if we will get sod tomorrow? DH hasn't heard from the guy that we are not, but of course he's convinced he's going to call tomorrow morning or tonight and say sorry, no can do. I would think the guy would pay attention to weather forecasts/temps (which are fairly accurate around here) and would have told DH a few days ago, if he wasn't going to be able to do it in this weather.
My DD has jury duty this week, so we have no idea how that's going to
affect her being able to pick me up at the airport at 4:45pm Thursday or
if she's going to be able to take me down to my mom's Friday morning.
May have to end up renting a car. Bugger.
I'm trying to get payroll done today. I was thinking I finally have the new process down and was going to get it done without any help, but a curve ball got thrown in. We terminated an employee and I have to add a severance check, LOL. And I had no idea a severance check is taxed as supplemental pay, not regular pay tax. So many things with the new payroll company that we have to know and do ourselves. With our old company we just emailed them: terminated and 2 weeks severance and they took care of it, LOL. Plus the person assigned to assist with our payroll questions is really slow to reply back.
So that package from work that took the scenic route? It was a Halloween bag of candies from my boss...and then when I started digging around in it to look at the candies I found a $100 Visa gift card :) So sweet.
And speaking of work, my pet peeve is this new "messenger" type program we have to use now. First we used Slack. Now they changed to Microsoft Teams. Both similar, but why can't we just email? LOL. I have my email always open on one screen. I answer my emails right away. With the messege app I don't always see the notification down in my screen corner right away. And most of them are just "group" messages that aren't important. But we also have where you can send individual "private" messages. Just freaking email me, what's the difference? I hate have to look for messages from people now in 2 places.
